Thanks for the response,I saw that. I have also checked Wary and Racy 5.3. Seamonkey 2.6.1 is installed, but check for updates is not in the help menu. Seamonkey is now at 2.8. I also use other browsers, but prefer Seamonkey. I also noticed Netscape 9.006 is available, it is a standalone browser.
Cheers

Yes I use that one but will it server the purpose for OP.
Would that give him better security? I use it because
it is very practical for me but maybe not for the OP?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

It appears, from the responses that I should be somewhat concerned. I can get an up to date Seamonkey for windows easily, but that may introduce other vulnerabilities. And I don't like to use that os. I am not aware of a Seamonkey sfs. That might work for Puppies that don't have Seamonkey installed. I suppose I could just use Seamonkey for email and browse with a more up to date browser. Thanks for the replies.
I am not aware of an issue so far.
Cheers

Thanks for the posts. I now have Seamonkey 2.7 installed and updated to 2.8. I just did not know how to do it. There is a wealth of information about Puppy available, the issue is finding it when you need it.

He suggests extracting browsers and other applications into /initrd/mnt/dev_save and executing them from there-- via links, by creating .desktop files in usr/share/applications or just by clicking the executable. This makes it easy to replace an application with the newest version (and update links). It is economical because the app can be used by several different puppies (I have several frugal installs) and it doesn't increase the size of the pupsave file.

I have tried this with opera, firefox, java, truecrypt and skype, and they work fine.
